Hi,
I downloaded, the CPAN module XML:Smart, and used
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
in order to build the module (as specified in man
perlmodinstall)and install it in my perl repository. I
am getting the following error:

ok 115
ok 116
ok 117
ok 118
ok 119
ok 120
ok 121
ok 122
ok 123
ok 124
ok 125
ok 126
ok 127
ok 128
ok 129
ok 130
ok 131
ok 132
ok 133
Can't locate object method "SWASHNEW" via package
"utf8" (perhaps you forgot to load "utf8"?) at
blib/lib/XML/Smart/Data.pm line 258.
make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 2

Should I edit this Data.pm fle to include the
following line at the top?

use utf8

should i download utf8? and install as well? what is
meant by loading utf8?

I tried to download and build Test-utf8_0.02 module,
but it fails saying that perl 5.7.3 required, and what
I have is 5.6.1.

Cant I have utf8 or in turn XML:Smart in 5.6.1 version
at all?
